Alain Jorge Cardoso Cabezon, TCLA 2 Section Head
Alain Cardoso, a Spanish citizen, served over 25 years in the Spanish nuclear sector. After acquiring an industrial engineering degree from Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de Madrid (Madrid Industrial Engineers College), he began his career with one of the largest nuclear engineering & service company in Spain, Tecnatom S.A., reaching after three years the level of senior simulator instructor on BWR technology, then technical advisor during two years of the Spanish regulatory Authority for the commissioning of Cofrentes NPP a BWR reactor type. He trained NPP’s crew from Spain, Mexico, Italy and Switzerland and managed various projects in NPP personnel training for operation, engineering and maintenance. He also served in various capacities, managing projects as Training Division Tools Manager, followed by his appointment as the Head of the New Technology in the company. One of the highlights of his various projects was the set-up Emergency Operating procedures in the full scope replica simulator, the development of Interactive Graphical Simulators and Advanced Software Tools to implement Tecnatom's Corporate On-Line Training via the Intranet/Extranet and the management of several TACIS and Phare projects (European Commission funded projects) for Europe from 1994 till 2000. In 2001, the IAEA recruited Alain Cardoso, based on his extensive experience and strong competencies as a Project Manager and knowledge of technical assistance to Nuclear Power Plants in Europe. He has shown extensive know-how in Project Management and Coordination of Regional Projects and has made a valuable contribution particularly to IT matters due to his unique experience. Alain is fluent in French, English and Spanish. He continues to stay actively involved in the Spanish Nuclear Society (SNE). Alain Cardoso is currently the Section Head of TCLA2. In his free time he enjoys sports, good food and music.
